Well, it's five six seven eight, open up the Pearly Gates..

Here we go again, in so many ways. Syria, schmyria, that is what I say. But not when I am in Syria. Or even when confined in a room with Syrians. Could happen.

I am almost sure the bombing was the wrong thing to do. I base that purely upon the favorable press the move garnered from both repub and demos. If they agree, then it is probably a thing of deception and evil. Just is.

Then there is all the false flag speculation. Maybe one of the theories of inside job will be accurate. One says that Putin staged it all so that Trump could look good like he was standing up to Russia. Seems to be a stretch, but that hasn't stopped the ongoing press for the last three months. Relentless and often transparently biased but very lame in the attacks. You run out of ammo if you never take your finger off the trigger and you are wielding an automatic.

I get the same feeling as when Clinton bombed weird stuff and found Bosnia worth going to war over. I still think that may be debatable. Anyway, democrats love war. Yet they successfully claim to be the outfit of peace. Like how Vietnam worked. I take it back. They only love wars that never end and which give them a chance to harass those fighting. Rules of engagement, second guessing why a terrorist got shot. In a war zone. I do not know how the military manages to take orders from these nitwits and narcissists. Two in a row. But one at least likes them. Still. I couldn't do it under the circumstances, even though I'm beginning to understand those who do.

And there's discussion that this is a proxy war between the Saudi allies and the Iranian allies. The Shite Muslims vs the other ones. (I know. It is my prejudice coming through. At least I added the e.)

All I can say is I wish I would have gone into sales for one of the companies who make million dollar bullets. I handle Tomahawk missile sales. I always hope they miss the first time, so they have to buy more. Rumors that my company creates fake targets to deceive our troops into deploying various expensive rockets and missiles and such are totally untrue.

I understand the chemical attack was sadistic and barbaric. Not sure there is or isn't proof of origin. However we haven't bombed N. Korea, even though that little clown fed his own uncle to hungry dogs. And has done quite a number on his people. We did not stop China from murdering millions over the years. On and on. I am not buying the story. But I do not have an alternative.

I do not know what is true, or what our ultimate objectives actually are in foreign policy, but this ain't it. This just seems contrived. But that is what I said about Gulf War one. At least that looked like a quick in and gone operation. Does seem to have resulted in lasting peace and prosperity except for the arms and bullet salesmen.

It is a relief to see a slight lull in some of the ridiculous, rabid onslaught of anti-Trump press and relentless propaganda. Ever hear of overkill? Over the top? Scary damn people. Scarier than the people they are screaming about, and I admit there are some scary people in power. Most people in power do not have the strength of character not to abuse it. Just look and condo and home owner associations. Petty power and they go crazy.
